Why Black Africans Were Historically Viewed As A Threat | Black Culture

In today’s episode, we will explore the fear and threat that non-blacks felt toward black people and examine the reasons behind it. The pattern of prejudice against black Africans is not a new phenomenon. In fact, it has its roots in the history of the world. Black Africans have been the richest of the rich since the dawn of civilization, living in gold cities and making the rest of the world envious. This superiority complex is what made non-black people with inferiority complexes perceive black Africans as a threat. The fear and threat that non-blacks felt towards black people historically and even today is based on a variety of factors. These include black people’s physical strength, genetic superiority, and historical and intellectual contributions to civilization. The perpetuation of negative stereotypes in the media and education systems only serve to reinforce these fears and limit the potential of black people. As a result, non-black people decided to portray black Africans as inferior. They did this skillfully, using their own language and culture to perpetuate negative stereotypes. This campaign against black Africans has persisted throughout history, and it still exists today. But why do non-black people perceive black Africans as a threat, and why does this feeling persist? The answer lies in the complex history of the world, and the role that black Africans have played in it. Throughout history, black Africans have made significant contributions to the world in fields such as mathematics, science, medicine, architecture, language, metaphysics, religion, and spirituality. They were the pioneers of civilization, laying the foundation for subsequent developments in the world. Despite these significant contributions, black Africans have been portrayed as inferior and threatening. This negative portrayal has been perpetuated by the Western media, which has long been dominated by white Europeans and Arabs. One of the primary reasons why non-black people felt threatened by black Africans was their physical superiority. Throughout history, black people have been known for their strength and charisma, which made non-blacks feel like they would eventually dominate if they were allowed to participate in their matters. As a result, non-blacks created a new system that excluded black people from positions of power, and instead, made physical labour seem inferior compared to more sophisticated jobs.
